Yes. If you hear audible noise during playback and are using an IDE (ATAPI) hard drive, check to make sure that DMA is enabled for that drive. You can check by going to the Device Manager (Start->Settings->Control Panel->System->Device Manager), clicking the “+” next to “Disk Drives”, double-clicking on the listing for the hard drive in question, going to the “Settings” tab, and making sure that “DMA” is checked under Options. You’ll need to reboot for this change to take effect.
